Something to Generate From
MADRASSA
For the residency at Tabakalera, Madrassa Collective aims at complementing and expanding the research developed during the project “Something to Generate From”.


FOUNTAIN
Ila Firouzabadi
This project is inspired by people who are experiencing some sort of violence, be it war, marginalization, discrimination, racism, refugees’ crisis, immigration, inequality, etc.


DARK MATTER
Alicia Martín López
DARK MATTER is a project in the shape of a pictorial installation that proposes the creation of a narrative related to the idea of transformation, and to reflect on the immaterial ecosystem of networks we live in.


Sheltered memories
Ana Rakel Ruiz de Sabando
Through a process of searching the streets of Tehran, and taking the Kooshk space as a starting point, Ana Rakel Ruiz de Sabando is going to collect abandoned objects that will act as a basis for this project and as a uniting thread for the collective and individual memories of the city's people.


Coche de plástico en un palet
Natalia Suárez, Gómez Selva
Coche de plástico en un palet (Plastic car on a pallet) arose from the need of the artists Natalia Suárez and Gómez Selva to work with things that they had found. Through the connection of their lines of work they aim to transform and bring new meaning to things regarded as foreign objects, using what is discarded by others as their raw material.


Dormen os peixes de olhos abertos
Nele Wohlatz
Three outsiders in a tropical city, passing through places that could be anywhere. A condominium tower with white, empty rooms, made in China bric-a-brac stores, a shark-infested beach, the sea. Lixue, Ah, and Bo live in a reality that sometimes seems like fiction and, perhaps, a prediction of the future for the world's cities. Three verses in an incomplete song, but who is speaking through whom? The alienation of the three, who are so different, yet so similar.


El agua
Elena López Riera
It is summertime, and the threat of a powerful storm hangs over a town in the Spanish Levant. Ana is 17 years old and has grown up in the shadows of her mother who disappeared in the last flood, becoming phantasmagorical legend, a character for the townswomen who say that the water there is always mixed with death. In this electric atmosphere before the storm, Ana meets Jose, her first love.


Chupacabra
Grigory Kolomytsev
Nine years old Andrey lives on the outskirt of a small village near the White Sea. Nervous, tired of poverty and fatherlessness mother keeps Andrey in constant tension and beats him. Once Andrey finds a dead dog on the seashore in a storm - he decides that it is a mystical beast Chupacabra, a goat vampire, which will save his mother from ills and help them to reunite. 


918 gau
Arantza Santesteban Pérez
 In the minuscule cell of a police van, a woman that has spent many years in prison told me: to be able to explain what prison is like, you need to have slept in one. Nearly a decade ago, I spent 918 nights in prison. This film is about what it means to live in an isolated world without images.


El oasis
Manuel Abramovich
"Why do you want to do porn?" they ask at the casting. "Because I love to feign pleasure". How does pleasure itself become a performance? If an adult film actor transforms their sexuality into a show, where do they find true pleasure.


Spectral Exchange
Matthew C. Wilson
At Tabakalera Matthew C. Wilson will research for Spectral Exchange , an investigation into operations of power, economics, biology, and perception outside the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to humans. He proposes an interdisciplinary research framework: Spectral Exchange. 


OLYMP'S SHEDS
Marianna Christofides
On the basis of four big failed building projects in the greater area of Attica, the audiovisual project OLYMP'S SHEDS reveals the languished sites' current reluctant turnaround.


Furniture With Flat Top
Izaro Ieregi
By using activities registered in archives and making use of a score and devices that enable us to contort our body and distort our voice. Recording a new event. An exercise of form. 


Rojo 40
Gabriel Garcilazo
The Rojo 40 project is an information cross-over between medieval alchemy archives and the modern chemistry surrounding industrialised food products. 


Your flowers do not wither
Pili Aguado
I conduct analogue, photographic, anonymous archive research and intervene using direct illustration. Working with intervention allows me to reinvent the narrative behind each image to create a collection which takes on its own importance, capable of combining the past with a ‘new idea’ brought in by the graphic interpretation.


The Invasive Garden (Psidium hortus)
Alberto López, Manuel Prados
The Invasive Garden (Psidium hortus) proposes the construction of a botanical garden consisting of invasive plant species, based on the identification and study of species of this type naturalised in the Basque Country.


Aisiar Eho
Sandra Cuesta Aizkorbe
This project consists of two actions. The first of these is to cover a boat of 10 metres in length with textile material, and the second is to produce a device to record a song inside the boat.


Galumphing
Manuel Casellas
Galumphing proiektu inudea da eta soilik gauza bat du argi: helburu jakinik ez duen proposamen (apustu) esperimentala da eta izango da. Prozeduretan oinarrituko da, eta, hala, arte esperimentalek artearen ahalmenaren ardatz gisa duten balioa nabarmenduko du. 


Donostia protects me
Elba Martínez
This video is about a made-up garden where, by means of some strange and exciting encounters, a series of characters and events take shape under the title 'Donostia Protects Me'.
